Help Musicians' annual celebration of music. The Festival of St Cecilia has been the flagship event in the Help Musicians' calendar since 1946. It is a key moment for us to come together to celebrate what music brings to all of us, and to mark the contribution that musicians make to our lives.
This year's service will see the combined choirs of St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral and Westminster Abbey unite to perform under the direction of Andew Carwood MBE, Director of Music at St Paul's Cathedral.
The service will feature the premiere of a specially created anthem composed and performed by one the musicians who is supported by Help Musicians, Heloise Werner, and funded by the Vaughan Williams Foundation. There will also be a highly anticipated performance by pianist and Help Musicians Ambassador, Isata Kanneh-Mason.
Tickets for the service are free but donations to the work of Help Musicians are very welcome. As a charity Help Musicians depends on the generosity of donors.
